Refunds/Payments
Best Choice: Get your refund or pay your tax via direct deposit/electronic transfer.

Avoid phone scams by checking caller ID. If you do not recognize it, do not answer. Legitimate callers will leave a message. If the message claims to be from a government agency, do not return the call. Government agencies always correspond through USPS.
